This gets worse for Sir Keir Starmer.

In a couple of years, second, third, fourth, and fifth will be swapping from poll to poll with all of them in the 13-18% range. This gives Green the three Manchester seats.

Your Party will focus on high profile/front bench seats.

That's what I think, anyway

➡️ Reform lead by 16%, their largest ever advantage in an opinion poll.

This would give them 407 seats on the custom nowcast model, a majority of 164.

"I didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize because they said I'd done too much peace. The most peace anyone has ever done. They said if I did any more peace then peace would cease to exist. Phenomenal amounts of peace, huge levels of peace" x

Take away all your wealth? That's a good idea. I like that.

The Washington Post Democracy Dies in Darkness

Thiel, whose net worth is around $27 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, also used his private talks to criticize financial regulations. He said such rules were a sign that a singular world government has begun to emerge that could be taken over by an Antichrist figure who could then use it to exert control over people. "It's become quite difficult to hide one's money," Thiel said, according to the recordings. "An incredible machinery of tax treaties, financial surveillance and sanctions architecture has been constructed." Wealth gives the "illusion of power and autonomy," Thiel added, according to the recordings, "but you have this sense it could be taken away at any moment."

@MrAndyNgo
Now that the local and national press have started to cover the Portland ICE area round-the-clock in reaction to the President, Antifa have devised a plan where they are encouraging one another to come in animal costumes.

The costumes serve the function of masking the violent extremism to make the direct action appear like a family-friendly gathering on camera, and to whitewash the past ultraviolence.

In 2019, Antifa devised a similar plot by giving out free "milkshakes" at a protest. But they couldn't contain their bloodthirst and nearly killed me when they saw me. In 2020, they mobilized a fake "Wall of Moms" where female Antifa supporters and members wore yellow shirts to act as human body shields while violent rioters behind them hurled projectile weapons.

Why has Dominion Voting Systems been settling defamation lawsuits with Trump allies who falsely claimed the company stole the 2020 election?

Because Dominion has just been bought by a company run by a former GOP election official.

Be warned.

Giving the Nobel Peace Prize to someone who is begging Trump to start a war of choice with her Latin American country, but doing it with a little swipe at Trump -- that's the excellence I'd expect from a body that bestowed the same award on Kissinger

I don’t think some younger people get how weird it was to find out that Busta Rhymes and Snoop Dogg were huge Benny Hill fans.

It’d be like finding out Kendrick Lamar and Glorilla were big fans of The Brittas Empire.
